DEATH OF GENERAL HAZEN.

The Chief of the Signal Service Succumbs
toa Disease of Long Standing Aggravat-
ed by a Recent Severe Coda Calm and
Peaceful Death.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-General W. b.
Hazen, chief signal officer, died here of
diabetic coma at eight o'clock last even
ing. General Hazen had suffered from
diabetes for some years; but of late, hay
ing improved in health and strength, hopes
were entertained of his complete recovery.
At the reception to the diplomatic corps
given by the President last Thursday
night, he took a severe cold, causing him
to keep his bed on Friday. On Saturday
he was up and reported himself much bet
ter, saying he would go to his Office on
Monday. Yesterday morning his phys
ician, DIR. P. F. Harvey, q. s. A, was sum-
moned to see him soon after daylight. He
at once repaired to his room and found an
alarming change in his condition,
suggesting poisoning of the blood
from his constitutional disease. DIR. Har-
vey at once adopted measures to overcome
this condition and restore strength A
consultation was also at once sought with
Dr. D. l.. Huntington, of the army, who
agreed in the main with the attending
physician. The case was deemed of so ex-
IRENE gravity that his relatives in this
city were informed, and they at once
Sbtnofeu ABOUT MIN ana spared no eHOrU
to bring him relief Some Improvement
resulted from the treatment, but toward
evening his symptoms became aggravated,
and at the urgent request of the family
DR.. Lincoln was also cal led IN and met
Drs. Harvey and Huntington in consulta
ton. Every measure that skill or science
could suggest failed to rally the sinking
officer, and he breathed his last at eight
o'clock. His final illness was not accom-
panied with suffering, and his death was
calm and without struggle.
General Hazen was born at West Hart
ford. VT, on the 27th Of September, 1880.
In 1851 he was appointed a cadet in the
military academy at West Point and
graduated in 1855. In Septem Der, 1861, he
took command of the Forty-tirst Ohio reg
iment and served with distinction to the
close of the war. when he was in COM
cand of the Fifteenth Army Corps. Gen
eral Hazen was appointed chief signal
officer in December 1880, succeeding Gen
eral Myer.
Mrs. Hazen and her only son are now in
Paris where they have been for several
months.

High License in Pennsylvania.

The high license bill which has been pend
ing before the Pennsylvania Legislature for
several weeks has finally passed both
branches of that body, and now only awaits
the Governors signature to become a law.
1t is not probable that the Governor will
veto it, and thus follow the example of Gov.
Hill, of New York, who checked the high
license movement in that State by his veto
of the Crosby bill
The Pennsylvania bill appears to be gen.
orally satisfactory throughout that State
1t is bitterly. opposed, of course, by the
keepers of the lowest class of dram shops
because it will force great many of them
to close their places of business. These places
can be spared, however, and there are few
who will regret their disappearance.
The law is a graded one. For the large
cities the license is $500, and for cities of
the second and third classes $500. In the
country districts it ranges from 500 to 500.
1t is not, of course, very high anywhere,
but it is high enough for an experiment. If
it is found to work well it may be increased
as the temperance sentiment grows
stronger.
High license, although condemned by
Prohibitionists, produces good results
wherever tried. 1t lessons the evils which
flow from the sale of Intoxicating liquors,
and, in that way, gradually educates the
people to favor temperance] The Prohibi-
tionists make the mistake Of thinking that
all that is necessary to stop whisky drink
is to enact law against its sale. That pro-
hibitory laws are of little account, unless
supported by strong public sentiment, ex-
perience proves, Such laws are effective in
country districts, because public sentiment
upholds them, but in the large cities their
only effect is to prevent the open sale of in
toxicating liquors. There is as much, and
probably more, drunkenness where whisky
is sold freely in surreptitious way than
when sold openly. The first thing to do in
order to advance the cause of temperance is
to educate public sentiment in favor of it,
High license helps TO do that When public
sentiment is ripe for them prohbitory laws
can be effectively enforced.N
